ATI Drivers

Feb 11, 2009 darkgrey link
Hi,

just thought I'd mention a slight problem I had but managed to resolve.

I recently updated to a newer version of the ati-drivers and discovered that there was about 1 second delay between user input and what was happening on screen, i.e. pressing the fire button resulted in the relevant weapon sound being heard straight away but weapon fire didn't appear on screen for at least a second. Fighting and docking with a station became a real challenge :-)

I'm a Gentoo user and had updated the x11-drivers/ati-drivers package (http://www.gentoo-portage.com/x11-drivers/ati-drivers)

=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.573-r1
This version seemed to cause the graphics lag.

=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.561
This version appears to be working fine even at 1920x1200.

Maybe this information will come in useful if anybody has issues in the future.
